Holiday houses in Sipaliwini District

Anita and Dwight gave us a warm welcome to Surinam. They were flexible with picking us up from the airport. Dinner and breakfast were homemade and tasty. The bedroom was tidy and had a lot of atmosphere. The numerous animals at this place each have their own character and it is lovely to see Anita and Dwight care for them. All in all, this was a great start for our trip to Surinam.

This location is as described. Very tranquil and well maintained. Easy to find. Because of the dry season the lake is dry. Highly recommended.

I had an unforgettable stay at Spenky's hut. If you’re looking to slow down, reconnect with nature, and embrace a simpler way of life, this is the place for you. Botopasi village is incredible, and learning about the Saramaccan people’s rich culture and history is profoundly rewarding. The hut, immersed in lush nature and near the Suriname River, offers a window into daily life: fishing, swimming, and washing clothes in the river. The hospitality was heartwarming. Bringing school supplies or goods for local kids is a thoughtful gesture—they’re amazing and appreciate support in this isolated area. Make sure to stock up on food and coordinate with Spenky before your trip. This experience was beyond memorable. The serene surroundings, cultural richness, and genuine connections made this adventure one I’ll treasure forever. Highly recommend this unique stay!

Clea and Mitchel are great hosts. They are very easygoing, respectful, help a lot in unexpected situations. They are very kind. The place is amazing, very close to amazon jungle, the area is calm, quiet, you can walk a lot. you can count on them with shuttle help to airport. I wanna go back one day.

Anouk’s place is a true paradise in a beautiful garden of a wonderful family. Anouk guides you with detailed directions all the way to her house. A haven for independent travelers like us. At location you can be guided bij locals to the forest or around the villages. Or just enjoy a swim in the river, sitting at the porch, the food ( which you have to bring yourself ) the sounds of the jungle…We highly recommend this place, we are definitely coming back to this place if we ever go back to Surinam. Thanks Anouk for sharing this place

What a wonderful place and a warm welcome from Mr. Fonkel. The location is stunning on the waterfall. The cottages are very nicely situated with a view of the river. You can sit on the balcony and enjoy the river, the star sky or the sunrise. Here no mass tourism but personal attention. Please inquire with Mr. Fonkel for a full trip. In addition to the cottage, the food is also provided by a great cook. Yes, you can only use the cottage but also especially use the excursions offered. Where I can especially recommend the overnight stay with Jan. You will then go up the river and creek by boat. Then a 45-minute walk to spend the night at a creek in hammocks. Jan cooks deliciously and is so nice and welcoming. Especially do. You sleep under a beautiful canopy in the jungle. In the creek you can swim and there is a clean toilet! In short, a great location.
